You engage in a termination procedure before term and must find a replacement tenant. After having placed an advertisement for a rental apartment and shown the property, you will need to obtain certain information about the prospective candidate. In particular, you need to make sure that they are solvent. Let’s take a look at the rental apartment documents that you need to send to the management team.
Check the marital status of the candidates with the documents for a rental apartment
When rental candidates want to rent the property you are leaving, they must gather a certain number of documents to do so. First of all, you will need to obtain their identity card, or their residence permit if they are foreigners. Your goal: to build the most complete and compelling case possible. Thus, the property owner will not have a valid reason to refuse the tenant, and your early lease termination procedure will be successful. Also, ask candidates to write a summary presentation sheet detailing their marital status, contact details, profession, and salary level.
Check the solvency of the candidates with the documents for a rental apartment
Finding a replacement tenant does not mean finding someone interested in your rental apartment advertisement. It involves finding a solvent tenant. In concrete terms, the candidate(s) must provide evidence of income at least three times higher than the rental amount. They must also provide an attestation that they are not subject to any legal proceedings (attestation de non-poursuite), to prove that they are not being sued for debts.
Check the character of the candidates with the documents for a rental apartment
Among the reasons that can justify a refusal of the candidate by the owner, the character of the applicants also needs to be considered. If they show disorderly conduct, overstay the terms of their rental contract, or if they carry out any activities likely to disturb the tranquillity of the neighbourhood, the owner will be entitled to refuse the application file. This is why including a certificate from former neighbours or the former owner, as part of their rental apartment documents, can strengthen their case. And you will also need to ask the applicants to write a letter stating that they undertake to take over the lease according to the same conditions. The bottom line is, many documents are necessary, and it can sometimes be difficult to request all these supporting documents from rental candidates. With SherlockHomes, you simply need to post your ad for free and show the property. Interested candidates will then be able to compile their file directly on the platform, and it will then be sent to the management team.
